Re: Burns in 'Read-Only' status



Easier fix:

Just have the recipient copy the file from the optical
disc to a scratch directory on their machine.

Then right-click from Explorer, select Properties, then
untick "Read Only".

No additional software needed.

Why,when I burn a data disc, does it put the Excel or Word document into a
'Read-Only' format? Is there a way to stop this? I've looked everywhere I
can think to see if something is checked that causes it, but can't find any
help. I was told by someone that I needed CD-RW discs, which I have. Can
anybody help me? The data I need to forward on to someone needs to be
workable when they get it.
